1. What are some of the previous research projects you have done?
Athens and Sparta, The Glory That was Greece, Labyrinths: A Web Quest, and Greek Myths.
2. Based on these projects, what does research mean to you?
It means to me, finding information you need via books, people, and internet.
3. Describe one of your research successes or failures. Why was the experience positive or negative?
One of my "Successes" I guess would be The Glory That Was Greece project mostly because I got a good grade and I didn't find it extremly difficult. Teacher Response March 15
Please make up all of your missed work.

1. I think the webbing process helped/did not help me find a topic because:
I think it helped to a point, but it was sort of annoying because you 'd find a topic that you really like and were wanting to do but you still had to find two more. Besides that I'd say it was pretty helpful. Entry 3 March 15 2007.

I choose it because you think it's interesting and you think I'm interesting. HAHA just kidding. I choose it because to me it sounds like life should be lived...in peace.
